So you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived the purge of Harappan Civilization, saw the downfall of Buddhist Mauryan Empire, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the Hindi language as best they could while working free of charge from sun up to sun down as they watched babies dying of hunger and women raped by ruthless feudalists.
Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, built railways, factories and literally everything, survived the brutal Peshwa regime. Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced 20000 Peshwa soldiers with just 500 men.
Endured a 100 forms of untouchability, un-seeability, paid breast tax, were forced to wear pot in neck and broom in the waist.Fought in Wars as soldiers only to return to India as untouchables, massacred in Bathani Tola, Gang-raped at Khailanji, flogged in Una, ghettoed in the Cities, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Bollywood.
And in spite of it all, someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here, but you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!It is NOT in our DNA to quit!
